My M-Code Cuda is finally getting worked on

i saw two notch back m cudas for sale last year. one was a roller with no drive train that had the entire left rear quarter smashed - and then cut off. the other one was here on FABO. it was a pretty rough car but complete. however, it did not have the original drive train and had fenderwell headers. i think the guy was asking around $20k for it. the m cars only show up at big buck auctions. they are very hard to find at prices most people could afford.
I kinda liked the car to start with, I`m not a purist by any means. Really weired I never saw that car around here, I`m about 25 min. from Bartlesville, and 9 miles from the dragstrip. Course I don`t get around much anymore ! Following the build .
